Here's what people are saying about the new album:
"One of the most visionary, unique, and just plain badass albums to be released in years."
- No Depression
"Every once in a while, an album comes along that changes everything. It’s an album that inspires other albums, and dynamic shifts in tastes and approach throughout a sector of music, while at the same time dashing the dreams of other artists, as the purity and originality are way too much to attempt to rival. Slackeye Slim’s El Santo Grial, La Pistola Piadosa is one of those albums."
- Saving Country Music
"This disc sounds like Ennio Morricone, Calexico, Dick Dale and Tom Waits collaborated to write the soundtrack for a dark western."
- Alternative Sound
"The music is fearful, chaotic, but intelligent, and paints a vivid picture into the mind of anyone listening."
-Truth About Music
"Johnny Cash meets Pink Floyd meets Hank III meets Jim Morrison"
-Roothog Radio
